Talking about walking benefits may seem like a trivial topic, but there are some fascinating benefits that you may not have considered.

2. Increases the body’s natural opioids (natural pain killers)

3. Reduces inflammation

4. Helps you lose weight after the first 30 minutes

5. Decreases the risk of bone density loss with age

6. Strengthens the muscles in your feet

7. Helps stabilize your hips, back, and neck

8. Mobilizes lymphatic system circulation

9. Improves lumbar muscle function (which can help with low back pain)

10. Helps reduce blood pressure

11. Increases oxygen to the brain
